Hiya LostBenji...
I interpreted Beasty means TYT is legal as a brand not that particular model.
As you would be aware, one can get the Ham and Commercial variants made by TYT, Wouxun, Baofeng etc legally thru quite a few Dealers, Andrews would be the biggest I s'pose.
To me it looks like the 'U' variant of the 9000 is Ok in OZ but the 'D' can't be AFAIK.
